Author: Santiago DeSante
Subject: A visit

(Camera comes up in a empty loft. Candles give the room some light as Karma head out of the room. Someone is knocking on the door. Karma opens to find Jim Logan.)

Jim: How is he?

Karma: You know him two days and he’ll be fine.

Jim: I’ll bet, where is he?

Karma: By the window, I’m off to get some gauze for those wounds, keep him from doing something stupid, will you?

(Jim gives her an odd look)

Karma: As a favor?

Jim: No sweat….

(Karma walks out and Jim head toward the window and sees DeSante staring into the night sky rain pouring down. He is sitting on the window sill letting the rain pour in.)

Jim: You are one crazy mother…

DeSante: Shhh……

(he holds a finger to his mouth)

DeSante: Did you hear it Jim. The roar of the crowd. The sounds when Bladerunner and I went through that cell

Jim: No but I hear the smack of your bones breaking.

DeSante: Your missing the point Jim. Asshole….

(DeSante smiles and shakes Jim’s hand)

DeSante: Always the dense one.

Jim: Dense? Me? Did you even see the dent you made in that ring!

(Both men laugh for a moment, then DeSante grimaces from the pain in his ribs)

Jim: You allright Santiago?

DeSante: Yeah I will be. Just give me a couple of days.

(he flashes his trademark smile)

Jim: Yeah sure.

DeSante: So hows Harris?

(Jim laughs for a few moments)

Jim: Harris has had better days.

(Santiago moves as Jim can see blood coming from a wound under the taped ribs)

DeSante: Haven’t we all?

Jim: Why did you do that you Fuc#@in moron! Shit, now you got Captn Fear….

DeSante: FUCK FEAR…..

(jim stands back surprised.)

DeSante: I will destroy Fear. People like him disgust me. He walks around with a belt he didn’t deserve. Calling himself a champion. He disgraces everything that I respect. Bladerunner I respected. I could spit on Fear. The “Good ole Capn” Will not find a happy opponent.

(Jim lights up a cigar and sits down in a chair across from DeSante)

DeSante: I have fought and bled in feds like this and watched people like him cheat like that. Well I will not have it. I will scratch and claw and I will tear this LIAR’S face off. I will hang him with his own belt.

Jim: Whoa easy tiger, I haven’t seen you this revved up…well heck since dark tiger.

DeSante: Captain Fear “The Buccaneer” He is supposed to be a Hall of Famer? Well we all live in a world of make believe. I’m sure as hell he does.

Jim: He can’t be all that bad.. He was the first champion

(DeSante and Logan both start lauging)

DeSante: I hope he doesn’t think I will be an easy target like Temp was. Yes that’s right I’ve done my homework. And he needed help to defeat Temp. Poor Shawn. Always so close to that belt but always goes home empty. How I do miss him.

Jim: Teach that was the guy who he “won” it off of originally.

(both me start laughing again)

DeSante: So this is what happens when I leave? Real champions all fade away and “Pirates” cheat their way to the top.

Jim: Things have changed since you where gone. A year ago would Captn have gotten away with what he has. Would he be called a champion then…no I don’t think so. Deadman is desperate. He is in need of some yes men.

DeSante: And you and I have never been good at saying yes.

(Jim smiles for a few moments)

Jim: No, no we haven’t. So will you be ok to fight next week?

DeSante: Of course I will. When is the match at “hide tide”

(Both men snicker)

Jim: You always had a horrible sense of humor.

DeSante: Learned it from you

Jim: Shit, you know I didn’t teach that awful shit!

DeSante: That’s IT!

Jim: What the fu#@ are you talking about!

DeSante: Billy Wild. That’s who Captn reminds me off. Only not as funny.

Jim: Yeah seems like a stunt Wild would pull. What’s that bastard up to?

DeSante: Who knows probably still looking for his car.

(Both Jim and DeSante snicker)

Jim: Tell me honestly Santiago. After last night will can you fight Captn?

DeSante: I have to Jim….I have too. He doesn’t deserve where he is and I am next in line to show him why. And I have to do it Jim. Can’t have every wannabe, nevergonnabe, has been loser think he is more than what he is.

Jim: Now that is something I haven’t heard you say in a long time.

DeSante: It was never a good saying anway. You should have told me that.

Jim: You wouldn’t have listened…Peoples Choice.

DeSante: Heh true that.

(Both men sit in silence)

Jim: Is he gone….

DeSante: Who…Marius?

Jim: You know damn well, who else.

DeSante: Last I saw him….well he won’t be bothering us again. That I can say.

(Jim sits and thinks for a few moments)

Jim: Shit man, then why fight still?

DeSante: Cause I have to Jim, you know that. Why do what you are doing?

Jim: Same reason I guess. Never enough time.

DeSante: Never has a more true statement been spoken. Word of advise. Let Karma help you. She knows way more than she has let on. I got your back Jim, but she can help you do what you are doing more than I can.

Jim: You want me there with you next Monday?

DeSante: No, I can handle the good old Capn’t and his sea faring buddies…Can’t belive I am at a Federation that I would even have to say something like that..

Jim: just wait till you face AOH.

(Both men laugh again for a few moments)

DeSante: It was a hell of match wasn’t it.

Jim: Damn straight. Should’ve waited for a belt but hey you gotta do what you gotta do.

DeSante: Now what I’ve gotta do is F#@ up the Captn. Royaly.

Jim: Should be fun.

DeSante: Only problem is when I have fun others don’t.

Jim: How many times do I have to hear that line. Don’t you ever get tired of it.

(DeSante smile…)

Jim: Didn’t think so. Take it easy buddy.

(DeSante smiles as Jim gets up to leave)

DeSante: Say hello to my godson for me.

(jim laughs as DeSante sits looking out the window…>Jim laighs as he walks out the door)

DeSante: hush little Capnt don’t say a word. The Devil is gonna buy you a mockingbird
Now if that mockingbird don’t sing,…The perfect Devil will make you scream…..


(DeSante continues humming to himself as the camera fades to black)
